A. Micro Grids and Macro Grids

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a computer system 50 comprising a microgrid apparatus 100 and irregular shaped modules 200, 410, 415, 420, and425 connected to the micro grid apparatus 100 via respective connectioninterfaces 55, in accordance with embodiments of the present invention.The micro grid apparatus 100 is also called a “complex shape”.

The micro grid apparatus 100 is configured to enable the irregularshaped modules 200, 410, 415, 420, and 425 to be geometrically connectedthereto via the respective connection interfaces 55. The connectioninterfaces 55 accommodate a V-shaped geometric connection between theirregular shaped modules 200, 410, 415, 420, and 425 and the complexshape of the micro grid apparatus 100.

The micro grid apparatus 100 comprises a central area 115 (see FIG. 2A)that includes a micro grid, wherein the micro grid comprises a pluralityof processors 65. In one embodiment, each processor of the plurality ofprocessors 65 has a unique Internet Protocol (IP) address. The referencenumeral “65” refers to the collection of processors that the pluralityof processors consists of. In embodiments of the present invention, theplurality of processors 65 consists of nine or eighteen individualprocessors. In practice, the number of processors may be determined bydesign criteria, manufacturing considerations, etc. In FIG. 2A, acentral area 115 of the micro grid apparatus 100 having a complex shapecomprises a plurality of processors 65 consisting of nine processorswith connection to a micro grid wireless module of irregular shape 415and four other types of add-on hardware interface modules of theirregular shaped modules 200, 410, 420, and 425 (see FIG. 1)accommodated in the five docking bays 460. The central area 115comprises a plurality of processors 65 that are linked togetherwirelessly or by direct electrical connection, and the plurality ofprocessors 65 are linked wirelessly or by direct electrical connectionto each irregular shaped module.

Each processor of the plurality of processors 65 has its own individualoperating system and assigned resources (e.g., cache memory—not shown).The operating system within each processor of the micro grid apparatus100 controls the programmatic housekeeping and individual processoravailability and assignment of the micro grid, including allocation ofrandom access memory of irregular shape 200 to the processors withcommon types of operating systems within the micro grid apparatus 100,and other communication interfaces of irregular shape 425. Theprocessors within the apparatus 100 are linked by multiple data buses(not shown) for data transfer and electrical connection to each otherwhere they collectively reside with their individual cache memory andcache controllers in the same physical apparatus. Contemporaneously,there are multiple operating systems actively functioning in thedifferent processors of the same physical micro grid apparatus 100.

An assembled micro grid apparatus structure of the present invention isconstructed from two physically different components: (1) the complexshape of the micro grid apparatus 100, which may embody the centralprocessing unit's cell wafer including the associated cache memory, thecache controllers, and the associated electronic circuits of the microgrid apparatus 100; and (2) the closely packed modular irregular shapedmodules (e.g., 200, 410, 415, 420, 425 for which there are five dockingbays provided) and/or bridge modules as discussed infra in conjunctionwith FIG. 8.

In FIG. 1, the five different irregular shaped modules, which may beselected and assembled for functional use by the micro grid apparatus100, include: (1) the irregular shape 200 which embodies random accessmemory (RAM); (2) the irregular shape 425 which embodies communicationscomprising Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)Ethernet, cable, and/or fiber optic communications; (3) the irregularshape 420 which embodies a Global Positioning System (GPS); (4) theirregular shape 415 which embodies micro grid wireless connection points(e.g., 18×802.11s micro grid wireless connection points); and (5) theirregular shape 410 which embodies input and output (I/O) supportincluding data buffers for serial and parallel linked peripheralcomponents and devices.

The irregular shaped modules 200, 410, 415, 420, and 425 areinterchangeable and fit any docking bay in the micro grid apparatus 100as determined by system architectural design. Different combinations,including multiples of one type of irregular shape, are permitted in anassembled apparatus. For example, three RAM modules 200, a micro gridwireless module 415, and a global positioning module 420 wouldfacilitate a mobile micro grid apparatus 100 with a particularly largeamount of memory; however it would not have I/O, or physical connectablecommunication functionality. Each irregular module is coupled by highspeed bi-directional data buses available at the connection interface(e.g., ‘V’ shaped connection interface) 55. The total number of suchdata buses is equal to the total number of processors of the pluralityof processors. For example, if the total number of such processors is18, then the total number of such data buses is 18. The processors ofthe plurality of processors 65 contained in the complex shape of themicro grid apparatus 100 communicate individually via each of theavailable individual data buses (e.g., of 18 data buses) to theirregular shaped module 415, connected by the ‘V’ shaped connectioninterface 55.

The plurality of processors 65 includes a unique processor 60 having itsunique operating system and is included among the associated micro gridof processors 65, and may include associated internal cache memory andcache memory control, main random access memory 200 for storing data andinstructions while running application programs, a mass-data-storagedevice, such as a disk drive for more permanent storage of data andinstructions, peripheral components such as monitors, keyboard, pointingdevices, sensors and actuators which connect to the I/O module 410, dataand control buses for coupling the unique processor 60 and its operatingsystem to the micro grid processors and components of the computersystem, and a connection bus 55 for coupling the micro grid processorsand components of the computer system. FIG. 8, described infra, depictsan exemplary data processing apparatus in which any processor of thepresent invention may function.

The present invention utilizes one or more operating systems residing insingle processors, and multiple operating systems residing in multipleprocessors, such as may be embodied on the same wafer, can beconstructed with known software design tools and manufacturing methods.

The computer system 50 provides the following functionalities:

-   -   1. Containment of the micro grid apparatus 100 and its I/O        capability for detecting local alerts and peripheral device        interfacing with I/O module 410, its communications capability        for receiving alerts via communications module 425, its global        positioning system module 420 for detecting location and change        of location when mobile, its multiple wireless communications        ability for data interchange via the micro grid wireless module        415, and its system memory storage via RAM module 200, embodied        in a single apparatus incorporating a single complex shape, and        coupled to selectable and interchangeable modules of irregular        shape (e.g., module 415) is provided for.    -   2. Enablement to heat dissipation of the complex shape of the        micro grid apparatus 100 is provided for by two surfaces being        available without obstruction by connection pins. Thus in one        embodiment, no connection pins are connected to either or both        of a top surface and a bottom surfaces of the central area 115.        This physical method of forming the apparatus doubles the        available surface area for heat dissipation capability and        enhances known heat dissipation techniques for micro processors.        The underside connection pins of the complex shape may be        provided only on the radial arms to functionally facilitate dual        heat dissipation contact devices on the top and underside of the        complex shape. Thus in one embodiment, connection pins are        connected to a bottom surface of at least one radial arm of the        radial arms 110 and not to a top surface any radial arm 110. A        suitable hole in the mountable multi-layered printed circuit        board under the complex shape will accommodate the underside        heat dissipation device.    -   3. Enablement of modularity in micro computer structural design        of the computer system 50 is provided by selecting all or any        multiple combinations of available irregular shaped modules        (e.g., 200, 410, 415, 420, and/or 425) and other        ‘interconnecting modules’. The method of the present invention        forms a modular design with flexibility that provides for        generalized micro grid functionality, as well as specialized        micro grid functionality, and provides customized design        functionality for larger and more complex grid computing systems        constructed from a plurality of interconnected micro grids.    -   4. Enablement of scaleable designs of the micro grid apparatus        (by use and interconnection of multiple complex shapes) is        provided for grid computing.    -   5. Enablement of micro grid hardware design change and working        system reconfiguration of a micro grid's functionality is        provided. Irregular shaped modules (e.g., 200, 410, 415, 420,        and/or 425) can be mechanically extracted from the complex shape        and other irregular shaped modules selected and mechanically        inserted in the resultant vacant docking bay as a design change        preference to alter the micro grid functional design. A change        of the irregular shaped modules 200, 410, 415, 420, and/or 425        provides for system software diversity by reconfiguration for a        micro grid's functionality.    -   6.

FIG. 2A is a diagram depicting the micro grid apparatus 100 of FIG. 1,in accordance with embodiments of the present invention. The micro gridapparatus 100 is a physical structure having an exterior boundary asshown. The micro grid apparatus 100 comprises a central area 115 andfive radial arms 110, wherein the radial arms 110 are external to andintegral with the central area 115. A micro grid apparatus generallycomprises a plurality of radial arms. For example, the number of radialarms may consist of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, etc. or at least2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, etc. The central area 115 of themicro grid apparatus 100 provides hardware containment of a basic microgrid of 9 processors 65 each with its own operating system. The uniqueprocessor 60 has a unique operating system that differs from theoperating system of each of the other processors. The unique processor60 governs all other processors of the plurality of processors 65. Thedocking bays 450 are defined by adjacent radial arms 110 together with aportion of an exterior boundary of the central area 115 and accommodateirregular shaped modules such as irregular shaped modules 200, 410, 415,420, and/or 425 discussed supra in conjunction with FIG. 1. As shown,each docking bay 450 is a region whose geometric shape enables a moduleto be latched therein such as any of the modules (200, 425, 420, 415,410) in FIG. 4B or any of the modules (200, 425, 2010, 415, 410) in FIG.20A.”

The processors are linked to each other via a system bus (not shown), amicro grid bus (not shown) and a macro grid bus (not shown). Knownexisting (and future designed) application software, operational systemsoftware, communications software, and other software including drivers,interpreters and compilers for micro processor systems may functionwithin the embodiments of the present invention. Any irregular shapedmodule is able to connect to any of the five docking bays available inthe complex ceramic chip structure in any combination, including thearrangement of five bridge modules attached to one complex ceramic chipstructure. In one embodiment, Terrestrial and 802.11g WirelessCommunication protocols and standards may be employed for use in thepresent invention. In one embodiment, the Mesh Wireless Communication802.11s standard may be employed for use in the present invention.Circumstances (e.g., manufacturing, research, etc.) determine standards(e.g., 802.11g, 802.11s, and other existing wireless standards andfuture standards) that may be used in different embodiments or indifferent combinations in the same embodiment (e.g., inclusion ofcommunication techniques such as ‘Bluetooth’).

In one embodiment, the outer curved edge 105 of the radial arm 110 isphysically manufactured to the shape of a circle, resulting in the outercurved edge 105 of the radial arms 110 being at a radial distance (e.g.,of 5 cm in this example) from a radial center 112 of the circle (i.e.,the circle has a diameter of 10 cm in this example) within the centralarea 115 of the micro grid apparatus 100. Each radial arm 110 extendsradially outward from the central area 115 and has an outer curved edge105 disposed at a constant radial distance from the radial center 112.Thus, the outer curved edges 105 of the radial arms 110 collectivelydefine a shape of a circle centered at the constant radial distance fromthe radial center 112. The circle has a diameter exceeding a maximumlinear dimension of the central area 115. Each pair of adjacent radialarms 110 defines at least one docking bay 450 into which an irregularshaped module can be inserted. The total number of docking bays 450 isequal to the total number of radial arms 110. In one embodiment, one ormore irregular shaped modules are inserted into respective docking bays450 defined by adjacent radial arms 110. In one embodiment, the radialarms 110 are uniformly distributed in azimuthal angle φ about the radialcenter 112. In one embodiment, the radial arms 110 are non-uniformlydistributed in azimuthal angle φ about the radial center 112, which maybe employed to accommodate different sized irregular shaped modules withcorresponding radial arms 110 that present different sizes and shapes oftheir ‘V’ interface.

The central area 115 of the micro grid apparatus 100 comprises aplurality of processors 65 that are electrically linked together and areelectrically linked to each irregular shaped module that is insertedinto a respective docking bay 450 defined by adjacent radial arms 110.The central area 115 has a polygonal shape (i.e., a shape of a polygon113) whose number of sides is twice the number of radial arms 110. Thedashed lines of the polygon 113 do not represent physical structure butare shown to clarify the polygonal shape of the polygon 113. In FIG. 2A,the polygon 113 has 10 sides which corresponds to the 5 radial arms 110.The polygon of the polygonal shape of the micro grid apparatus 100 maybe a regular polygon (i.e., the sides of the polygon have the samelength and the internal angles of the polygon are equal to each other)or an irregular polygon (i.e., not a regular polygon). The radial arms110 may be uniformly distributed in azimuthal angle φ about the radialcenter 112. The radial arms 110 being uniformly distributed in azimuthalangle φ about the radial center 112 is a necessary but not sufficientcondition for the polygon of the polygonal shape of the micro gridapparatus 100 to be a regular polygon. Accordingly, the radial arms 110may be uniformly distributed in azimuthal angle φ about the radialcenter 112 such that the polygon is not a regular polygon. In oneembodiment, the radial arms 110 are non-uniformly distributed inazimuthal angle φ about the radial center 112.

The central area 115 is structurally devoid of connection pins on thetop and underside surfaces, enabling direct contact with heatdissipation devices on both surfaces. The radial arms 110 haveconnection pins on the underside (i.e., bottom) surface.

Five docking bays 450 for the irregular shaped modules (200, 410, 415,420, 425) are provided between the radial arms 110. Each radial arm 110has parallel sides 111 oriented in a radial direction and are 1.4 cmwide in this example. The arc at the outer curved edge 105 of the radialarm 110 has a chord of 2.7 cm in this example.

The connection interface 55 provides an electrical connection ‘V’ pointfor a system bus between the complex structure and the irregular shapedmodules and is available along the edge of the docking bay 450 of thepentagonal shape of the central area 115 of the complex shape. The buscomprises individual bi-directional data buses (e.g., 18 data buses)capable of connecting the micro grid processors (e.g., 18 processors)with their own operating systems to their own individual wirelessdevices contained in the irregular shaped module 415 for micro gridwireless connection points. The mechanical connection is achieved by theirregular shaped module 415 press fitting its wedged connection pointedge into a ‘V’ edged protrusion along the length of the complex shape;i.e., the docking bay's pentagonal edge.

FIG. 2B is a diagram showing an irregular shaped module 415, inaccordance with embodiments of the present invention. The irregularshaped module 415 in FIG. 2B may alternatively be any other irregularshaped module such as the irregular shaped module 200, 410, 420, or 425.The irregular shaped module in FIG. 2B contains chip structure toprovide hardware containment of the micro grid wireless interfaces andis ensconced in place with downward pressure on the curved edge 205within the embrace of the docking bay after their electrical connection‘V’ shaped receptacle edge has been positioned correctly and is incontact with the electrical connections of the complex shape's ‘V’protrusion edge. The curved edge 205 in FIG. 2B is analogous to thecurved edge 105 in FIG. 2A.

The latching mechanism on the radial arms 110 of the complex shape inFIG. 2A is provided as a raised and rounded protrusion of about 1.5 mmheight×about 3.5 mm length along the edge 320 of both sides of theirregular module shape 415 in this example. This protrusion fits areceptacle with the same characteristics to receive the complex shape,on all the radial arm edges of the complex shape. In one embodiment, theirregular shaped modules are manufactured from a slightly softer moldedmaterial to provide the mechanical contraction against the harderceramic form of the complex shaped module, thus enabling the latchingmechanism to work. In one embodiment, the manufacturing is configured tocreate a relatively softer complex shaped module to accept relativelyharder irregular shaped modules.

The irregular shapes are manufactured to fit perfectly within thedocking bay 450 (see FIG. 2A), with less than 0.1 mm of gap tolerancearound the non contact edges in this example. The gap tolerance (0.1 mmor otherwise) is determined by the mechanics of the protrusion andreceptacle mechanical latching mechanism described supra. The chord ofthe curved edge 205 is 3.5 cm and the non-contact side 210 of theirregular shaped module is 2.2 cm in length in this example. Connectionpins are not present on the irregular shaped module, and similar to thecomplex shape, both top surfaces 215 and underside surfaces areavailable for contact with heat dissipation devices. External systemdevices such as a disk drive (not shown) for more permanent storage ofdata and instructions, and peripheral components such as monitors,keyboard, pointing devices, sensors and actuators, connect via theunderside pins on the radial arms of the complex shape to the I/Oirregular shaped module 410.

Similarly, the global positioning irregular shaped module 420 and thecommunications irregular shaped module 425 connect to their externalassociated hardware (i.e., physical antenna, cable and fiberconnections) via the underside pins on the radial arms of the complexshape. The RAM irregular shaped module 200) and micro grid wirelessmodule 415 do not necessarily require the use of connection pins underthe complex shape as they are self contained and do not have anyassociated external hardware.

In accordance with the present invention, each individual processor canparticipate as a member of the micro grid apparatus 100 and may beconscripted for functional use from within the micro grid apparatus 100by one uniquely assigned processor (e.g., by processor 60) with itsindividual operating system. Each processor of the plurality ofprocessors 65 has its own individual operating system and assignedresources (e.g., cache memory—not shown) and is available to participateeither by direct connection and/or wirelessly (802.11g), eitherindividually and/or collectively, on demand, from within the embodimentof the micro grid apparatus 100 to an external dynamically expanding andcontracting wireless macro grid, comprised of conscripted andparticipating processors, from a plurality of participating micro gridsaccording to embodiments of the present invention. Each processor ofcommon processors within the micro grid apparatus 100 with the same typeof individual operating system and assigned resources is available forfunctional use as a wirelessly connected participant of one or moremacro grids.

A macro grid comprises a set of processors conscripted from one or moremicro grid apparatuses to become macro grid processors within the macrogrid. A macro grid may also include other computational resources whichdo not function as a macro grid processors, such as other micro gridprocessors of the one or more micro grid apparatuses.

A macro grid may dynamically change as a function of time. The macrogrid has a geographical footprint, which is spatial contour defined bythe macro grid processors in a macro grid. The spatial contour of thegeographical footprint may be generated by fitting a curve to thegeographical locations of the macro grid processors in a macro grid at agiven instant of time. The geographical footprint (i.e., the spatialcontour) of a macro grid expands or contracts dynamically as macro gridprocessors are added or removed, respectively, from the macro grid andalso as the spatial location of one or more macro grid processors in themacro grid change as a function of time.

Conscripted micro grid processors that are participants in a macro gridcould be physically contained within the confines of a moving vehicle, aflying airplane, a sailing ship, a walking person, etc. Thus, themobility of macro grid processors contributes to dynamic changes in themacro grid.

An artificial intelligence of the present invention is intelligentsoftware implemented by a macro grid (i.e., by the macro grid processorsin a macro grid) to perform a task or a set of tasks in real time inresponse to detection of an alert pertaining to an event. The alert maybe detected by a unique processor 60 residing in the plurality ofprocessors in the complex shape of the micro grid apparatus 100. In oneembodiment, the artificial intelligence (i.e., the intelligent software)of a macro grid is located in a single macro grid processor of the macrogrid. In one embodiment, the artificial intelligence is distributedamong a plurality of macro grid processors of the macro grid (i.e.,different portions of the software comprised by the artificialintelligence are stored in different macro grid processors of the macrogrid). In one embodiment, the artificial intelligence is distributed andstored among all of the macro grid processors of the macro grid. Thelocation of the artificial intelligence in the macro grid may be static(i.e., unchanging) or may dynamically change in accordance with atransient evolution of the macro grid as the response to the alertdevelops over time and eventually reduces and terminates as the specificevent associated with the alert diminishes and is quenched. In addition,the mobility macro grid processors of a macro grid may be accompanied bylocational changes in the artificial intelligence associated with themacro grid.

The scope of logic, decision making, and any other intelligentfunctionality in an artificial intelligence of the present inventionincludes the current state of knowledge, and enablement of thatknowledge for practical utilization, known to a person of ordinary skillin the field of artificial intelligence at any time that the presentinvention is practiced. Thus, it is contemplated that an artificialintelligence of the present invention will be utilized with increasingcapabilities and levels of sophistication as corresponding capabilitiesand levels of sophistication are developed in the field of artificialintelligence.

An artificial intelligence is generated (i.e., created), by hardwareand/or software in any manner known to a person of ordinary skill in thefield of artificial intelligence. For example, a set of artificialintelligences may pre-exist in a storage medium and a particular storedartificial intelligence that is capable of responding to the eventassociated with the alert may be activated for use by the macro grid. Asanother example, an artificial intelligence may generated by software ina manner that tailors the artificial intelligence to the specific eventassociated with the alert.

The unique processor 60 is used to create and dynamically change macrogrids and to generate artificial intelligences to govern (i.e., controland manage) operation of the macro grids in response to a real timealert. A software conscription request may be received (or generated) bythe unique assigned processor 60 in the micro grid apparatus 100 from(or to) uniquely assigned processors of other micro grids, that arewirelessly adjacent and available, to the alert sensing (or alerttransmitting) micro grid apparatus 100. In one embodiment, once an alertis acknowledged by the unique processors in two or more micro grids, amacro grid is formed and expands by further conscription demand of otheradjacent wirelessly available micro grids to become a large macro grid,comprised of a plurality of selected numbers of individual processorswithin a plurality of wirelessly connected micro grids. The macro gridprocessor connects wirelessly the wireless module 415 to other adjacentmacro grid processors forming a macro grid across which a transient andmobile artificial intelligence resides. The dynamically constructedmacro grid continues to function wirelessly utilizing changingpopulations of connected individual processors embodied within microgrids. The macro grid is governed by an artificial intelligence.

The macro grids expand and contract their geographic footprint as: (1)participating micro grid processor numbers increase and decrease; (2)the operating system of the micro grid unique processors re-prioritizesindividual processor availability; (3) the physical location of theparticipating processors change as detected via the global positioninginterface module 420; (3) the unique application program alert demand,from within the macro grid, adjusts requirements for micro gridprocessor participation; and/or (4) new alerts are raised for functionaluse of micro grid processors that are already engaged in functional useby other macro grids. It is noted that different macro grids can usedifferent processors embodied within the same micro grid apparatus.

An artificial intelligence is generated by the unique processor 60,within the wireless configuration of a macro grid, as a result of aprogram alert to the operating system of the unique processor 60 withinthe micro grid apparatus 100, from sensor signals and software activityon the I/O interface of irregular shaped module 410. In response to thealert, the artificial intelligence conscripts available physicallyconnected processors from within the described micro grid apparatus, andwirelessly conscripts available processors from different micro gridapparatus's within a prescribed or otherwise detectable range. Theartificial intelligence becomes transient and not specifically relianton the initiating host unique processor's operating system.

The artificial intelligence governs its macro grid via the operatingsystems of the unique processors of the participating, wirelesslyconnected micro grid apparatuses, and authoritatively controls thefunctionality and sustained vitality of its mobile macro grid that hasbeen initiated for it to reside upon, until expiry or offload. In oneembodiment, one macro grid supports one artificial intelligence, and onemicro grid may have mutually exclusive individual processors under thecontrol of multiple artificial intelligences.

A plurality of transient artificial intelligences can co-exist (eachcontained within their individual expanding and contracting macro-grids)contemporaneously. The different artificial intelligences utilizedifferent individual wirelessly connected micro grid processors, theircommon type operating systems, and their assigned resources, availablewithin any single micro grid apparatus.

FIG. 2C depicts a micro grid system stack 1250, in accordance withembodiments of the present invention. The micro grid system stack 1250is formed of 9 processors, two standard system data buses (1210, 1215),a micro grid system bus 1205, and a macro grid system bus 1220, toprovide data transfer pathways of the micro grid system stack towireless interfaces, I/O and other software connections of the assembledapparatus. The micro grid system stack 1250 is an example of a microgrid system stack generally. A micro grid system stack is comprised by amicro grid apparatus such as the micro grid apparatus 100 of FIG. 1 orFIG. 2A.

Various activities (e.g., research, manufacturing, etc.) may determinethe specific structure of these two standard system data buses (1210,1215). These standard system data buses (1210, 1215) could be usedindividually (e.g., one standard system data bus for inbound data, onestandard system data bus for outbound data), as a bidirectional addressbus, as a bidirectional data bus, or as a high speed ‘on wafer’extendable address/data ring similar to token ring and other microprocessor connection technologies. Thus, the present invention includesmultiple design options in bus structure and interconnections and alsoincludes both parallel and serial methods of data transfer.

The standard system bus (1210, 1215) provides for address and datainterchange between the unique system processor 60 and all of the microgrid processors individually. Conscription of a micro grid processor toparticipate as a macro grid processor, including instruction to a microgrid processor to change its operating system, occurs over this standardsystem bus (1210, 1215). Micro grid processor status and availability,monitoring of micro grid processor utilization, and micro grid processorprioritization also occurs over this standard system bus (1210, 1215) bythe unique processor 60. This standard system bus (1210, 1215) maintainsthe vitality of the micro grid and its resources.

The standard system bus (1210, 1215) also interconnects all of microgrid processors 65 to the RAM module 200, via memory control and cachememory control.

The standard system bus (1210, 1215) also interconnects the uniqueprocessor 60 to the I/O module 410 for detecting local attached alertsand interfacing with standard external peripheral system devices such asa disk drive for more permanent storage of data and instructions, andperipheral components such as monitors, keyboard, pointing devices,attached alert sensors and actuators.

The standard system bus (1210, 1215), also interconnects the uniqueprocessor 60 to the GPS module 420 for provision of location informationand movement.

The standard system bus (1210, 1215) also interconnects the uniqueprocessor 60 to the communications module 425 for receiving wirelessalerts from adjacent processors (but yet to be connected as macro gridprocessors) and cable communicated alerts from fiber optic and Ethernetconnected sensors. The communications module 425 is also utilized by themacro grid processors for responding to alerts by instructing actuatorsto counter the alert event. The micro grid system bus 1205 provides fordata interchange among any two (or groups) of the micro grid processorswhen assigned by the unique processor 60, to provide additionalprocessing capacity to a macro grid processor. Once the micro gridparticipating processors are identified and assigned, and are acting asan active collaborating micro grid, the micro grid participatingprocessors reduce their individual use of the standard system bus (1210,1215) and utilize the micro grid system bus (1205). The presentinvention reduces data traffic volumes on the standard system bus (1210,1215) and provides alternate micro grid address and data capacity viathe micro grid system bus (1205) and further provides macro grid addressand data capacity via the macro grid system bus (1220).

The macro grid system bus 1220 provides for data interchange from eachprocessor of the macro grid processors individually via the wirelessmodule 415 to other adjacent macro grid processors embodied within amacro grid. The artificial intelligence associated with the macro gridprocessor within the macro grid communicates to all the other macro gridprocessors within the macro grid.

The two standard system data bus (1210, 1215), the micro grid system bus1205 and the macro grid system bus 1220, are all available as a systembus 55 at the five connection points of the complex shape with theindividual irregular shaped modules. The system bus 55 serves as anembodiment of connection interface 55 (see FIG. 1).

The system bus 55 can be extended beyond the embodiment of one apparatusvia a bridge module (i.e., a bi-polygonal irregular shaped module).

FIG. 3A depicts a micro grid apparatus 1300, in accordance withembodiments of the present invention. The micro grid apparatus 1300,which may in one embodiment comprise a complex ceramic chip apparatus,is for containment of a micro grid of 18 processors 65. The processors65 each have its own operating system and operate under control of aunique processor 60 and its operating system, and are linked to eachother via the system bus (1210, 1215), the micro grid bus 1205, and themacro grid bus 1220 (see FIG. 2B). The micro grid apparatus 1300 isanalogous to the micro grid apparatus 100 of FIG. 2A.

FIG. 3B depicts a micro grid system stack 1350 of 18 processors 65, inaccordance with embodiments of the present invention. The micro gridsystem stack 1350 comprises two standard system data buses (1210, 1215),a micro grid system bus 1205, and a macro grid system bus 1220 toprovide data transfer pathways of the micro grid system stack towireless interfaces, I/O and other necessary software connections of theassembled apparatus. The unique processor 60 with its own uniqueoperating system resides at the first position in the micro grid stackof processors 65. The two groups of cell processors 65 are collectivelyembodied in the stack as a continuous row of available micro gridprocessors for determination of use, by the unique processor 60.

FIG. 4A depicts a micro grid system stack 1400 of 18 processors 65, inaccordance with embodiments of the present invention. The 18 processors65 comprise a unique micro grid processor 60, a macro grid processor1405 for a single artificial intelligence to interface, 16 micro gridprocessors 65, and micro grid system buses for data transfer andsoftware connections, which include two standard system data buses(1210, 1215), a micro grid system bus 1205, and a macro grid system bus1220.

An alert to the unique processor 60 may be detected via the I/O module410 for the local and physically connected sensors to the apparatus; orvia the communications module 425 receiving the alert wirelessly forremote sensors linked to the apparatus.

An external macro grid alert to the unique processor 60 (e.g., asreceived from the communication module 425's wireless connection to anadjacent macro grid processor) may contain an externally computed valueof scale (S), wherein S is a function of a magnitude of the event (E),an urgency level for responding to the event (U), and a quash time forextinguishing the event (Q). The magnitude of the event (E) thattriggered the alert is a numerical value within a predefined range ofnumerical values (e.g., a continuous range of values such as 1 to 10, adiscrete set of values such as the integers 1, 2, 3, . . . , 10, etc.).The urgency level (U) for responding to the event is a numerical valuewithin a predefined range of numerical values (e.g., a continuous rangeof values such as 1 to 10, a discrete set of values such as the integers1, 2, 3, . . . , 10, etc.). The quash time (Q) for extinguishing theevent is in units of seconds, minutes, hours, days, etc. In oneembodiment, the magnitude of an event (E) is derived from GPS datareceived by the artificial intelligence from GPS modules (420) attachedto participating micro grid apparatuses across the extremity of thegeographical footprint of the macro grid. In one embodiment, the urgencylevel (U) is derived from the TCP/IP sensors alert signal frequency(e.g., one alert signal per second, one alert signal per millisecond,etc.). In one embodiment, S=(E×U)/Q. In one embodiment, E and U areindependent of each other. In one embodiment, U is a function of E. Forexample, if U is a linear function of E, then S is proportional to E²/Q.

The unique processor 60 assigns an internal micro grid processor tomodify its operating system and becomes a macro grid processor of amacro grid, after which an artificial intelligence is generated for themacro grid. The macro grid processor created by the unique processor 60interrogates the alert and determines the number of available micro gridprocessors 65 (e.g., from information provided by the unique processorin the micro grid stack) to be assigned for countering the event byeither: (1) determining the scale of the event to be the scale (S)contained in the alert; or (2) determining the scale of the event bycomputing a value for the scale (S′) of the response necessary tocounter the event raised by an alert. The scale (S′) is computed by anartificial intelligence of the macro grid; e.g., by using the sameformula (e.g., S′=(E×U)/Q in one embodiment) as used for previouslycomputing the scale S received by the unique processor 60 in the alert,but may differ in value from S due to U and/or Q being different forcomputing S′ than for computing S (e.g., due to a change in U and/or Qhaving occurred from when S was computed to when S′ is computed). In oneembodiment, the number of available micro grid processors 65 to beassigned for countering the event is a non-decreasing function of thescale (S or S′) of the event.

The artificial intelligence in the macro grid processor then requestsother adjacent and wirelessly connectable unique processors to assign amicro grid processor to become a macro grid processor in a similar way.Accordingly, the macro grid begins to grow in footprint size and shape.

The scale (S) of the alert received by the unique processor 60 from anadjacent processor via the communication module's wireless may bepredetermined by an artificial intelligence in the adjacent processorrequesting assignment of a macro grid processor (including micro gridprocessing resources) from the unique processor 60.

FIG. 4B depicts a micro grid apparatus 500, in accordance withembodiments of the present invention. The micro apparatus 500 containsof the hardware and software of a micro grid system stack in the complexshape of the micro grid apparatus 500. The micro grid apparatus 500comprises the micro grid's system RAM 200, the micro grid's systemcommunication 425, the micro grid's system GPS 420, the micro grid'ssystem artificial intelligence wireless 415, and the micro grid's systemI/O 410.

FIG. 4C is a flow chart describing a process for detecting an alert andfor responding to the detected alert, in accordance with embodiments ofthe present invention. The flowchart of FIG. 4C comprises steps1431-1437.

In step 1431, the unique processor 60 constantly monitors the system bus(1210, 1215) for an ‘alert data packet’: (1) from any sensor directlyconnected to the I/O irregular shaped module 410 or to thecommunications module 425; or (2) from any external micro grid apparatusor any macro grid that is connected wirelessly or by direct electricalconnection to the micro grid apparatus 100. An alert data packetcomprises an alert pertaining to an event.

The ‘alert data packet’ may contain a computed value of scale (asdefined supra) to assist in determining the number of micro gridresources required to assist with countering the event from the locationof the external micro grid apparatus. GPS information from the GPSmodule 420 may be constantly interrogated to determine a ‘locationvalue’ for advising the artificial intelligence (generated in step 1435)as to where the event is, and as a consequence, influencing the macrogrid operating system to increase or decrease the number of micro gridprocessing resources participating from within the single apparatus.

Step 1432 determines whether the unique processor 60 has detected a datapacket comprising the alert in step 1431. If step 1433 determines thatthe unique processor 60 has detected a data packet comprising the alert,then step 1433 is next performed; otherwise the process loops back tostep 1431 to monitor for an alert.

In step 1433, via the micro grid bus 1205, the unique processor 60initiates a response to the alert by identifying an available micro gridprocessor within the micro grid apparatus comprising the uniqueprocessor 60, designates the available micro grid processor to be adesignated macro grid processor by altering the operating system of theavailable micro grid processor to a macro grid operating system, andassigns to the designated macro grid processor an alert ownership of amacro grid with an associated responsibility for the operation of themacro grid.

The designated macro grid processor assigns one or more additionalprocessors from the micro grid apparatus comprising the unique processor60 as micro grid computational resources are required by the macro grid.The total number of the one or more additional processors assigned ascomputational resources for the micro grid is a function of the scale ofthe alert. The macro grid operating system comprises softwareconfigured, upon being implemented (i.e., performed), to respond to theevent associated with the detected alert.

In one embodiment, step 1434 is performed if warranted by the nature ofthe event and/or scale of the alert. In step 1434, the designated macrogrid processor communicates the ‘alert data packet’ to the unique microgrid processor(s) in one or more different micro grid apparatuses, viathe wireless irregular shaped module 415 for connection. The uniquemicro grid processor in each micro grid apparatus of the one or moredifferent micro grid apparatuses assigns a micro grid processor in itsmicro grid apparatus to become an additional macro grid processor of themacro grid. The assembled macro grid communicates via the wirelesslyconnected macro grid system bus 1220. Each macro grid processor of thedesignated macro grid processors may assign one or more additionalprocessors from its micro grid apparatus as computational resources forthe macro grid. In one embodiment, the initially designated macro gridprocessor directs and oversees the operation of all of the other macrogrid processors of the macro grid.

In one embodiment, step 1434 is not performed and the macro gridconsequently has exactly one macro grid processor, namely the designatedmacro grid processor.

In step 1435, an artificial intelligence is generated for the macro gridby the designated macro grid processor. In one embodiment, theartificial intelligence is stored only in one macro grid processor(e.g., the designated macro grid processor) of the macro grid. In oneembodiment, a different portion of the artificial intelligence is storedin some but not all macro grid processors of the macro grid. In oneembodiment, a different portion of the artificial intelligence is storedin each macro grid processor of the macro grid.

The macro grid may dynamically expand or contract as the event increasesor decreases, respectively. If the alert is of a predefined scale (asdefined supra) requiring additional computational resources, or if amatched alert is detected in other micro grid apparatus(s) than themicro grid apparatus that detected the alert in step 1432, then microgrid processors within the other apparatus(s) are assigned to theartificial intelligence as computational resources. A “matched alert” isdefined as an alert that communicates an enhancement of the eventassociated with the original alert detected in step 1432. As the eventdiminishes, macro grid processors and/or micro grid processors assignedas computational resources are removed from the macro grid.

In step 1436, the event associated with the alert is responded to andquenched by the artificial intelligence. The manner in which the macrogrid responds to and quenches the event is specific to the event, asillustrated in three hypothetical examples which are described infra.

As the scale of the alert (as defined supra) is reduced such that fewercomputational resources are needed to combat the event associated withthe alert. Accordingly, the artificial intelligence returns no longerneeded macro grid processors back to associated micro grid processorsunder the control of the unique processor of the micro grid apparatusthat comprises each associated micro grid processor.

If a previously occurring matched alert disappears, then the artificialintelligence will commence returning the conscripted additional macrogrid processors back to the control of the corresponding uniqueprocessor in the micro grid apparatus that is wirelessly connected themicro grid apparatus 100. Eventually the designated macro grid processoritself is returned as a micro grid processor to the micro grid apparatus100, resulting in the artificial intelligence vacating the macro gridand the macro grid disappearing, thus extinguishing the macro grid andall of its included macro processors, along with the artificialintelligence, in step 1437.

FIG. 4D is a flow chart describing a process for detecting and forresponding to the detected alert, in accordance with embodiments of thepresent invention. The flow chart of FIG. 4D comprises steps 1451-1456.

In step 1451, the unique processor 60 constantly monitors the system bus(1210, 1215), via the communications module 425 of the micro gridapparatus 100, for an ‘alert data packet’: (1) from any sensor directlyconnected to the I/O irregular shaped module 410 or to thecommunications module 425; or (2) from any external micro grid apparatusor any macro grid that is connected wirelessly or by direct electricalconnection to the micro grid apparatus 100. An alert data packetcomprises an alert pertaining to an event.

The ‘alert data packet’ may contain a computed value of scale (asdefined supra) to assist in determining the number of micro gridresources required to assist with countering the event from the locationof the external micro grid apparatus. GPS information from the GPSmodule 420 may be constantly interrogated to determine a ‘locationvalue’ for advising the artificial intelligence (generated in step 1454)as to where the event is, and as a consequence, influencing the macrogrid operating system to increase or decrease the number of micro gridprocessing resources participating from within the single apparatus.

Step 1452 determines whether the unique processor 60 has detected a datapacket comprising the alert in step 1451. If step 1452 determines thatthe unique processor 60 has detected a data packet comprising the alertthen step 1453 is next performed; otherwise the process loops back tostep 1451.

In step 1453, via the micro grid bus 1205, the unique processor 60initiates a response to the alert by identifying an available micro gridprocessor within the micro grid apparatus comprising the uniqueprocessor 60, designates the available micro grid processor as a macrogrid processor by altering the operating system of the available microgrid processor to a macro grid operating system, and assigns to thedesignated macro grid processor an alert ownership of a macro grid withan associated responsibility for the operation of the macro grid.

In step 1454, an artificial intelligence is generated for the macrogrid, under control of the unique processor 60, and is stored in thedesignated macro grid processor. The artificial intelligence stored inthe designated macro grid processor, upon being implemented, may assignone or more additional processors from its micro grid apparatus ascomputational resources are for the macro grid.

In one embodiment, the artificial intelligence stored in the designatedmacro grid processor may trigger generation of other macro gridprocessors if warranted by the nature of the event and/or scale of thealert. Specifically, the artificial intelligence stored in thedesignated macro grid communicates with the unique micro grid processorin one or more different micro grid apparatuses to direct the uniquemicro grid processor in each micro grid apparatus of the one or moredifferent micro grid apparatuses to assign a micro grid processor in itsmicro grid apparatus to become an additional macro grid processor of themacro grid. In one embodiment, the artificial intelligence stored in thedesignated macro grid processor may affirm or negate the choice of theadditional macro grid processor by the unique micro grid processor ineach micro grid apparatus.

In one embodiment, the artificial intelligence does not triggergeneration of other macro grid processors and the macro gridconsequently has exactly one macro grid processor, namely the designatedmacro grid processor.

If generation of other macro grid processors is triggered, theartificial intelligence stored in the designated macro grid processormay generate, or trigger the generating of, other artificialintelligences to generate or develop a resultant artificialintelligence. In one embodiment, the artificial intelligence is storedonly in one macro grid processor (e.g., the designated macro gridprocessor) of the macro grid. In one embodiment, a different portion ofthe artificial intelligence is stored in some but not all macro gridprocessors of the macro grid. In one embodiment, a different portion ofthe artificial intelligence is stored in each macro grid processor ofthe macro grid.

If the alert is of a predefined scale (as defined supra) requiringadditional computational resources, or if a matched alert (as definedsupra) is detected in other micro grid apparatus(s) than the micro gridapparatus that detected the alert in step 1452, then micro gridprocessors within the other apparatus(s) are assigned to the artificialintelligence as computational resources.

In step 1455, the event is responded to by the artificial intelligence.The manner in which the macro grid and artificial intelligence respondsto and quenches the event is specific to the event, as illustrated inthree hypothetical examples which are described infra.

As the scale of the alert (as defined supra) is reduced such that fewercomputational resources are needed to combat the event associated withthe alert. Accordingly, the artificial intelligence returns no longerneeded macro grid processors back to associated micro grid processorsunder the control of the unique processor of the micro grid apparatusthat comprises each associated micro grid processor.

If a previously occurring matched alert disappears, then the artificialintelligence will commence returning the conscripted additional macrogrid processors back to the control of the corresponding uniqueprocessor in the micro grid apparatus that is wirelessly connected themicro grid apparatus 100. Eventually the designated macro grid processoritself is returned as a micro grid processor to the micro grid apparatus100, resulting in the artificial intelligence vacating the macro gridand the macro grid disappearing, thus extinguishing the macro grid andall of its included macro processors, along with the artificialintelligence, in step 1456.

FIG. 4E is a flow chart describing a process for detecting an alert andfor responding to the detected alert, in accordance with embodiments ofthe present invention. The flow chart of FIG. 4E comprises steps1471-1477.

In step 1471, the unique processor 60 constantly monitors the system bus(1210, 1215), via the communications module 425 of the micro gridapparatus 100, for an ‘alert data packet’: (1) from any sensor directlyconnected to the I/O irregular shaped module 410 or to thecommunications module 425; or (2) from any external micro grid apparatusor any macro grid that is connected wirelessly or by direct electricalconnection to the micro grid apparatus 100. An alert data packetcomprises an alert pertaining to an event.

The ‘alert data packet’ may contain a computed value of scale (asdefined supra) to assist in determining the number of micro gridresources required to assist with countering the event from the locationof the external micro grid apparatus. GPS information from the GPSmodule 420 may be constantly interrogated to determine a ‘locationvalue’ for advising the artificial intelligence (generated in step 1475)as to where the event is, and as a consequence, influencing the macrogrid operating system to increase or decrease the number of micro gridprocessing resources participating from within the single apparatus.

Step 1472 determines whether the unique processor 60 has detected a datapacket comprising the alert in step 1471. If step 1472 determines thatthe unique processor 60 has detected a data packet comprising the alertthen step 1473 is next performed; otherwise the process loops back tostep 1471.

In step 1473, after detecting the alert data packet in step 1472, eachunique processor selects at least one processor from each micro gridapparatus.

In step 1474, each selected processor is designated as a macro gridprocessor of a respective macro grid by altering an operating system ofeach selected processor to a macro grid operating system and byassigning to each selected processor a responsibility for operation ofits respective macro grid.

In step 1475, an artificial intelligence is generated for each macrogrid.

In step 1476, the event is responded to and quenched by executing theartificial intelligence of each macro grid.

In step 1477 after the event has been quenched, the macro grids areextinguished.

In one embodiment, at least one micro grid apparatus comprises aplurality of micro grid apparatuses, wherein step 1474 results in therespective macro grids comprising a plurality of macro grids, andwherein executing the artificial intelligence of each macro grid in step1476 comprises contemporaneously executing the artificial intelligenceof each macro grid to perform said responding to and quenching theevent.

In one embodiment for each macro grid, one or more processors in eachmicro grid apparatus, other than the selected processors in each microgrid apparatus, are assigned as computational resources for each macrogrid.

In one embodiment, at least two macro grids include a different macrogrid processor selected from a same micro grid apparatus.

In one embodiment, the process geographically relocates at least onemacro grid processor of a first macro grid, which results in the firstmacro grid having its geographical footprint increased or decreased.

In one embodiment, the alert data packet includes an identification of ascale (S), wherein S is a function of a magnitude of the event (E), anurgency level for responding to the event (U), and a quash time forextinguishing the event (Q). The scale (S) identified in the alert datapacket may be used to determine a total number of processors of the atleast one processor to be selected from each micro grid apparatus duringsaid selecting the at least one processor from each micro grid apparatusin step 1473. In one embodiment, S=(E×U)/Q.

In one embodiment, the artificial intelligence for a first macro grid ofthe plurality of macro grids ascertains that the scale is increasedrelative to the scale identified in the alert data packet which triggersadding at least one macro grid processor to the first macro grid,resulting in the first macro grid having its geographical footprintincreased

In one embodiment, the artificial intelligence for a first macro grid ofthe plurality of macro grids ascertains that the scale is decreasedrelative to the scale identified in the alert data packet which triggersremoving at least one macro grid processor from the first macro grid,resulting in the first macro grid having its geographical footprintdecreased.

Some suchcombinations of macro grid processors may differ from each other. Eachgeographical footprint in FIG. 6A is identified by the macro gridprocessor (1615, 1620, 1625, 1630, 1635) included in its respectivemacro grid. The two portions of the footprint of the macro grid 1620depicted in FIG. 6A are connected to each other outside of thegeographic area 1600 and thus collectively form a single continuousfootprint.

FIG. 6B depicts a distribution ofmicro grid apparatuses within the 5 macro grids. The 12 micro gridapparatuses in FIG. 6B is a subset of the 27 micro grid apparatuses inFIG. 6A. The geographical area 1640 of FIG. 6B is later in time than isthe geographical area 1600 of FIG. 6A and either encompasses or is asubset of the geographical area 1600. Each micro grid apparatus in FIG.6B comprises its micro grid system stack, as explained supra. Some orall of the 12 micro grid system stacks are wirelessly connected to eachother. Each micro grid system stack contains combinations of macro gridprocessors, which are illustrated by the shape and boundaries of thegeographical footprint of the macro grids respectively. Some suchcombinations of macro grid processors may differ from each other. Eachgeographical footprint in FIG. 6B is identified by the macro gridprocessor (1615, 1620, 1625, 1630, 1635) included in its respectivemacro grid. Each macro grid is governed by its own artificialintelligence. In one embodiment, the geographic area 1640 is onekilometer across.

One of the macro grid macro grids (1620) hasexperienced a decaying artificial intelligence and is disappearing dueto removal of all of its participating macro grid processors. Thegeographical footprints of the other macro grids are reducing in size astheir alert scale value reduces. The distribution of micro gridapparatuses within the 5 macro grids of FIG. 6B differ from thedistribution of micro grid apparatuses within the same 5 macro grids ofFIG. 6A due to the dynamic evolution the 5 macro grids from the timeassociated with FIG. 6A to the time associated with FIG. 6B.

FIG. 6C is a diagram of a geographic area 1660 comprising 5 macro gridsand 12 micro grid apparatuses, in accordance with embodiments of thepresent invention. FIG. 6C depicts a distribution of micro gridapparatuses within the 5 macro grids. The 12 micro grid apparatuses inFIG. 6C are the same micro grid apparatuses as the 12 micro gridapparatuses in FIG. 6B. The geographical area 1660 of FIG. 6C is laterin time than is the geographical area 1640 of FIG. 6B and eitherencompasses or is a subset of the geographical area 1640. Each microgrid apparatus in FIG. 6C comprises its micro grid system stack, asexplained supra. Some or all of the 12 micro grid system stacks arewirelessly connected to each other. Each micro grid system stackcontains combinations of macro grid processors, which are illustrated bythe shape and boundaries of the geographical footprint of the macrogrids respectively. Some such combinations of macro grid processors maydiffer from each other. Each geographical footprint in FIG. 6C isidentified by the macro grid processor (1615, 1620, 1625, 1630, 1635)included in its respective macro grid. Each macro grid is governed byits own artificial intelligence. In one embodiment, the geographic area1660 is one kilometer across. At least one micro grid apparatus (denotedby its micro grid system stack 1605) is not connected or participant toany of the macro grids. One of the macro grids (1620) has experienced adecaying artificial intelligence and is disappearing due to removal ofall of its participating macro grid processors. The geographicalfootprints of the other macro grids are reducing in size as their alertscale value reduces. Directional arrows illustrate an instantaneousdirection in which portions of each of geographical footprints isdynamically moving, which may represent an expansion or contraction ofeach macro grid. The distribution of micro grid apparatuses within the 5macro grids of FIG. 6C have not changed from the distribution of microgrid apparatuses within the same 5 macro grids of FIG. 6C during theperiod of time from the time associated with FIG. 6B to the timeassociated with FIG. 6C.

FIG. 6D is a diagram of a geographic area 1680 comprising 5 macro gridsand 12 micro grid apparatuses, in accordance with embodiments of thepresent invention. FIG. 6D depicts a distribution of micro gridapparatuses within the 5 macro grids. The geographical area 1680 of FIG.6D is later in time than is the geographical area 1660 of FIG. 6C andeither encompasses or is a subset of the geographical area 1660. The 5macro grids in the geographic area 1680 in FIG. 6D are associated with asubset of the 12 micro grid apparatuses and consist of the 5 macro gridsof FIG. 6C. Each micro grid apparatus in FIG. 6D comprises its microgrid system stack, as explained supra. Some or all of the 12 micro gridsystem stacks are wirelessly connected to each other. Each micro gridsystem stack contains combinations of macro grid processors, which areillustrated by the shape and boundaries of the geographical footprint ofthe macro grids respectively. Some such combinations of macro gridprocessors may differ from each other. Each geographical footprint inFIG. 6D is identified by the macro grid processor (1615, 1625, 1630,1635) included in its respective macro grid. Each macro grid is governedby its own artificial intelligence. In one embodiment, the geographicarea 1680 is one kilometer across. At least one micro grid apparatus(denoted by its micro grid system stack 1605) is not connected orparticipant to any of the macro grids. One of the macro grids (1620) hasexperienced a decaying artificial intelligence and is disappearing dueto removal of all of its participating macro grid processors. At thetime associated with FIG. 6D, the macro grid 1620 includes micro gridapparatuses only outside of geographical area 1680 and is therefore notexplicitly identified in FIG. 6D. The geographical footprints of theother macro grids are reducing in size as their alert scale valuereduces. Only 4 macro grids of the 5 macro grids in FIG. 6C remain inFIG. 6D and have been reduced in size and continue to be reduced in sizeas their alert scale values are being reduced, namely the 4 macro gridsidentified by the respective macro grid processors 1615, 1625, 1630,1635. Three micro grid apparatuses (1645, 1650, 1655) are mobile (e.g.,in vehicles) that do not appear in FIG. 3C, and their GPS systemsindicate a change in ‘location value’ that is recognized by theirgoverning artificial intelligences to maintain their wirelessconnections and macro grid participation. Similar to FIG. 6B, thedistribution of micro grid apparatuses within the 5 macro grids of FIG.6D differ from the distribution of micro grid apparatuses within thesame 5 macro grids of FIG. 6A and include new micro grid apparatuses(e.g., 1645, 1650, 1655) due to the dynamic evolution and spatialmigration of the 5 macro grids from the time associated with FIG. 6C tothe time associated with FIG. 6D.

The expansion and contraction of artificial intelligence footprints isgenerally dynamic and changing.

Each macro grid in FIG. 5D, FIG. 6A, FIG. 6B, FIG. 6C, FIG. 6D, and/orany other macro grid described herein, is formed by the process depictedin FIG. 4C, FIG. 4D, FIG. E, or combinations thereof.

FIG. 7A depicts a micro grid system stack 1700 of 18 processors, inaccordance with embodiments of the present invention. The micro gridsystem stack 1700 comprises a unique micro grid processor 60, fourdesignated macro grid processors (1705) of four corresponding macrogrids, and 13 micro grid processors 65 (as additional processingresources, some or all of which may be allocated to the four designatedmacro grid processors (1705)). The four corresponding macro grids existcontemporaneously and have four corresponding artificial intelligencesco-existing in the same micro grid apparatus (i.e., the same micro gridsystem stack 1700). Also shown are the buses (micro grid system bus1205, standard system buses 1210 and 1215, macro grid system bus 1220)for data transfer and software connections. The unique micro gridprocessor 60 maintains an orderly macro stack of macro grid processorsby selecting the next available micro grid processor in the linear microgrid stack for operating system change to a macro grid processor. Aprocess of ‘stack house keeping’ by the unique processor 60 ensuresstack efficiency and micro grid processor availability for assignment ofmicro grid processing resources 65 to alert requests.

FIG. 7B is a diagram showing a micro grid system stack 1710 of 18processors, displaying the extension capability of the buses, inaccordance with embodiments of the present invention. The micro gridsystem stack 1710 comprises a unique micro grid processor 60, fourdesignated macro grid processors (1705) of four corresponding macrogrids, and 13 micro grid processors 65 (as additional processingresources, some or all of which may be allocated to the four designatedmacro grid processors (1705)). The four corresponding macro grids existcontemporaneously and have four corresponding artificial intelligencesco-existing in the same micro grid apparatus (i.e., the same micro gridsystem stack 1700). Also shown are the buses (micro grid system bus1205, standard system buses 1210 and 1215, macro grid system bus 1220)for data transfer and software connections. The unique micro gridprocessor 60 is embodied at the base (in position zero) of the microgrid system stack 1710. The micro grid system bus 1205 and macro gridsystem bus 1220 can be extended to provide their bus functionality from9 to 18 or more micro grid processors with their own individualoperating systems. The combined standard system buses 1210 and 1215,micro grid system bus 1205 and macro grid system bus 1220 can beextended to a plurality of other micro grid processor stacks by anirregular shaped module or ‘bridge’, physically connecting other microgrid apparatuses together.

FIG. 7C is a diagram showing a micro grid system stack 1730 of 18processors, displaying operating system change and re-assignment asartificial intelligence requirements of the apparatus are extinguishedwithin a single apparatus, in accordance with embodiments of the presentinvention. The micro grid system stack 1730 comprises a unique microgrid processor 60, a designated macro grid processor 1405 of acorresponding macro grid, 3 micro grid processors 66, and 13 micro gridprocessors 65. Also shown are the buses (micro grid system bus 1205,standard system buses 1210 and 1215, macro grid system bus 1220) fordata transfer and software connections. The unique processor 60constantly monitors alert data interrogated from its attached local andremote sensors, as well as the alert data issued by the macro gridartificial intelligence it is participating in. The unique processor 60constantly receives alert values of scale from a plurality of sources.The alert value of scale for the macro grid processor 1405 indicates itis still required to participate in providing processing resources forthe artificial intelligence within that macro grid. However, the 3 macrogrid processors 66 have been returned to micro grid operating systems astheir artificial intelligences have been extinguished. The next step isfor the unique processor 60 in the micro grid system stack to applyfurther ‘housekeeping’ and relocate the operating system of the macrogrid processor 1405 at stack position four to stack position one. Thethree freshly re-assigned micro grid processors 66 are then coalescedwith the other 13 micro grid processors 65 by the unique processor 60'sinstruction, resulting in a linear and uninterrupted stack of 16 microgrid processors (not shown), ready for the next alert.

The scale (S) of an alert is computed by the artificial intelligencefrom interrogation of alert data either detected directly via the uniqueprocessor 60 within the structure 500 (see FIG. 4B) from the connectedlocal sensors and/or remote sensors via the micro grid's I/O module 410and communications module 425 (see FIG. 4B), or received (see step 1455of FIG. 4D) from an external micro grid apparatus or a macro grid thatis wirelessly connected to the micro grid apparatus 100.

Adjacent wirelessly connectable physical apparatuses respond to thereceived (1450 to 1470) alert and join the macro grid along withprocessing resources as required by the artificial intelligence. Thecommunicational data may be in the TCP/IP packet format.

The scale (S) of an alert is computed and used by the artificialintelligence to constantly indicate an alert value to all participatingwirelessly connected micro grid unique processors (60) responsible forassigning macro grid processors and managing micro grid processors andresources. The scale (S) indicates, to the unique processor 60, arequirement to conscript more micro grid processors for the artificialintelligence, maintain the status quo, or reduce resource participation,which facilitates scalability of the dynamic functional use of the microgrid systems.

The artificial intelligence processes the data to counter the event withphysical action and activity against the cause of the alert. This isundertaken by instruction to the available intelligent actuators (notshown) controlled by the unique operating system of the unique processor60 in each micro grid apparatus. Alert interrogation provides thenecessary feedback to the artificial intelligence to assess theeffectiveness of the counter, which is then adjusted accordingly. Thiscounter action and feedback mechanism may occur within a short period(e.g., milliseconds).

There are many examples for using the present invention, wherein microgrid and macro grid alert processing can be provided for artificialintelligence to take pro-active control of situations, initiated by theraising of alarms and alerts. Micro grid and macro grid technology couldbe deployed everywhere, resolving issues, counteracting events, andcontrolling remote circumstances that would otherwise requirecentralized decision making by people, who are not always available24×7×365.

The following three hypothetical examples illustrate use of the presentinvention.

1. A huge forest fire erupts overnight in the hills behind Los Angeles(LA). The wind direction and fire intensity indicates an event to someouter LA suburbs within 48 hours. 427 fire trucks and 3 sky-cranehelicopters have been dispatched by the greater LA Fire Authority intothe area. Micro grids are embedded in all vehicles, and monitor heat,wind, smoke, and location information from their intelligent sensors. Asmoke alert is raised by one of the micro grids. Quickly a macro grid isformed between all vehicles and the artificial intelligence takescontrol of the dangerous event. Each vehicle has interactive voice andvideo. The artificial intelligence interfaces with these communicationdevices and issues task assignments to the LA Fire Authority Units. Theartificial intelligence provides a constant stream of updatedinformation to central control, police, ambulance, and news media. Theforest fire is surrounded by fire fighting efficiency and resourceco-ordination. Within 36 hour, the potential disaster is arrested andsuffocated. The wireless macro grid decays and separates back toindividual micro grid processing. The mayor thanks the LA Fire Authorityfor another job well done.2. It is year 2017 and the recently arrived NASA roving vehicles onTitan have been transmitting astounding images and data to Earth centralcontrol. A micro meteorite impacts 200 meters from one of the rovers,creating a sudden geological landscape change, unseen by earthcontrollers that may prove destructive for the $4 billion mission. Largefreshly formed terrain fractures are detected by micro grid sensors onthe rovers. A macro grid is quickly formed, and the generated artificialintelligence overrides current forward movement instructions and stopsthe affected rover immediately. This averts a potential rover loss, ascommunication with earth control is over 16 minutes (turnaround). Theartificial intelligence re-evaluates the terrain and provides Earthcontrollers with Titan ground distance images and new atmospherictemperature, dust, gas and pressure data from the direction of themeteorite impact. The artificial intelligence decays and the individualmicro grid unique processor in the command vehicle waits revised missioninstructions.3. It is 6.30 AM on a winter day in year 2012, and 400,000 vehicles areon the M1 motorway in England due to people traveling to work. Microgrid computing has been embedded in vehicles since year 2009 andapproximately 15% of the vehicles have the technology. A thick fog rollsin over a 12 mile portion of the M1 motorway. Micro-grid sensors withinthe vehicles react to the arrival of the thick fog and indicate thedensity and GPS location to the other collaborating macro grid connectedvehicles. Quickly, a fog pattern alert is generated by the artificialintelligence and conveyed to British motorway authorities includingweather forecasters, television stations, and radio stations. Thecollaborating processors in the macro grid dispatch and share anunsolicited alert image on their dashboard LCD screens indicatingtopographic size and density of the fog. Safely, the vehicles slow downinfluencing other non-macro-grid vehicle drivers to do the same. Imageprocessing, sensor sampling, and information up-dates are maintained bythe artificial intelligence until all vehicles have passed through thefog, and the fog itself lifts for another fine day.

B. Governance

Governance relates to the structure and function of a macro gridconfigured to respond to an alert and may comprise, inter alia,processor stack control, operating system software, house keeping withinstacks, control growth, decay, and operation of the unique processors ofthe macro grid, communication between or among the unique processors ofthe macro grid, etc.

The present invention utilizes the following governance structures thatmay exist in a macro grid: Council, Executive, Parliament, andGovernment, in conjunction with a simple micro grid apparatus and/or acomplex micro grid apparatus (also called a “connectivity structure”).

A simple micro grid apparatus is defined as a micro grid apparatus thatcomprises one and only one plurality of processors, said one and onlyone plurality of processors including one and only one unique processorhaving a unique operating system that differs from the operating systemof each other processor in the plurality of processors of the simplemicro grid apparatus.

A complex micro grid apparatus (or connectivity structure) is defined asa micro grid apparatus that comprises at least two pluralities ofprocessors, wherein the at least two plurality of processors arephysically connected within the complex micro grid apparatus such thateach plurality of processors includes one and only one unique processorhaving a unique operating system that differs from the operating systemof each other processor in each plurality of processors of the complexmicro grid apparatus.

A Council is defined as a unique processor in a macro grid such that theunique processor is comprised by a plurality of processors and iswirelessly connected to at least one other unique processor in the macrogrid, wherein each unique processor in the macro grid has a uniqueoperating system that differs from the operating system of each otherunique processor in the plurality of processors of a micro gridapparatus.

An Executive within a macro grid is defined as a Council in a simplemicro grid apparatus (e.g., a mobile micro grid apparatus), wherein theCouncil is wirelessly connected to at least one other unique processorin the macro grid that is external to the simple micro grid apparatusand is not physically connected to any other unique processor of themacro grid. Each Executive in a macro grid is a Council consisting of aunique processor in a different plurality of processors of at least oneplurality of processors. For example, the unique processor 60 within thesimple micro grid apparatus 100 of FIG. 1, if comprised by a macro grid,is an Executive in the macro grid, if the unique processor 60 in FIG. 1is wirelessly connected to at least one other unique processor in themacro grid. It is noted that the unique processor 60 in FIG. 1 is notphysically connected to any other unique processor of the macro grid.

A Parliament within a macro grid is defined as a plurality of uniqueprocessors (Councils) within a connective structure in which the uniqueprocessors of the plurality of unique processors are physicallyconnected within the connective structure, wherein the unique processorsof the plurality of unique processors in the Parliament are eachwirelessly connected to at least one other unique processor of the macrogrid that is external to the connective structure. Each unique processorof the plurality of unique processors in the Parliament is comprised bya plurality of processors within the connective structure.

A Government within a macro grid is defined as a plurality ofgovernmental components such that each governmental component is eitheran Executive or a Parliament. Each such governmental component within aGovernment can communicate with at least one other governmentalcomponent within the Government. Such communication is effectuated viaany Council or a designated resource processor in each governmentalcomponent. The present invention provides a structure and mechanism forthe unique processors of the governmental components within a Governmentto communicate effectively with each other.

Thus, a Government, a Parliament, an Executive, and a Council are each agovernance structure. A Government comprises a plurality of Executives,a plurality of Parliaments, or at least one Executive and at least oneParliament. An Executive, which comprises a Council, is a governmentalcomponent of a Government. A Parliament, which comprises a plurality ofCouncils, is another governmental component of a Government. A Councilis the smallest indivisible governance structure within a Government.

As discussed supra, a unique processor of a macro grid is comprised by aplurality of processors in a micro grid apparatus.

A plurality of Governments can contemporaneously exist at any timewithin a corresponding plurality of macro grids or within a single macrogrid.

A Government may created initially for (and on demand by) an artificialintelligence for the macro grid. Alternatively, a Government or agovernance substructure within a Government may create or activate anartificial intelligence for the macro grid.

Two Governments, one government having a relatively lower artificialintelligence and the other government having a relatively higherartificial intelligence, can merge such that the relatively lowerartificial intelligence transfers the alert responsibility and ownershipto the relatively higher artificial intelligence in accordance withspecified rules. An example of such a rule for transferring the alertresponsibility may be: upon recognition by two artificial intelligencesthat they have been generated for the same alert originally responded toby their respective unique processors in different geographicallocations and within different micro grid structures or apparatuses, theGovernment of unique processors then enables access to the multiplealert sensors (and response actuators) of the relatively higherartificial intelligence. Relatively lower and higher artificialintelligence is determined or measured by specified intelligence levelrules for artificial intelligences.

A Government can split into a plurality of smaller Governments inaccordance with specified rules, (e.g., the footprint of a mobilerelatively higher artificial intelligence owning multiple alerts becomesstretched to a ‘snap’ point and becomes wirelessly ‘out of range’forming multiple new smaller footprints). Each resultant artificialintelligence may not necessarily have the same number of alerts toremedy and may re-merge into a single Government (with a singleartificial intelligence) again if the wireless connection isre-established.

A Government exists and may expand/or decay for the life of a wirelesslytransient artificial Intelligence of its associated macro grid. AGovernment can decay into Parliaments, and/or Councils as its associatedmacro grid decays with the connectivity structure remaining intact.

A Parliament can be transformed into Executives and smaller Parliamentsby physical fragmentation of the connectivity structure in which theParliament is contained.

A Parliament exists for the life of the assembled bridge structurewithin the macro grid until decayed from the macro grid.

The following working flow relates to the use of governance structuresby the present invention.

An alert is sensed by a unique processor (60) in a micro grid stack. Amacro grid is initiated and an associated artificial intelligence isgenerated as a reaction to the alert. In one embodiment, the uniqueprocessor (60) in the micro grid stack is an Executive. The uniqueprocessor (60) in the micro grid stack assigns the artificialintelligence ownership of the alert and converts a micro grid processorin its stack into a macro grid processor (by alteration and addition ofoperating system software) in which the artificial intelligence caninitially reside. The artificial intelligence may, depending on the sizeof the alert, authoritatively negotiate with a unique processor of asimple or complex micro grid apparatus for more processor resources. Ifthe micro grid apparatus is within a complex micro grid apparatus (i.e.,a connectivity structure such as, inter alia, a bridge structure),unique processors within the complex micro grid apparatus amalgamate toform a Parliament of unique processors. In this instance, the artificialintelligence negotiates with the Parliament for additional macro gridprocessors within the complex micro grid structure. Otherwise, the microgrid apparatus is within a simple micro grid apparatus comprising anExecutive and the artificial intelligence negotiates with just theExecutive present within the simple micro grid apparatus. The artificialintelligence may not achieve all the processor resources it requiresfrom the Executive or Parliament, and may instruct the Executive orParliament to locate any adjacent wireless micro grids, and amalgamatethem into a Government of wirelessly connected unique micro gridprocessors (which includes the Executive or Parliament that theartificial intelligence is already negotiating with). The uniqueprocessor (60) in the micro grid stack that initiated formation of themacro grid is a Council that either is an Executive in the Government oris within a Parliament in the Government. This process of accumulatingwirelessly connected Executives and Parliaments continues, as theartificial intelligence seeks the necessary macro grid processors toundertake its remedy of the alert. The footprint of the Government thatthe artificial intelligence operates in may grow to an enormous scale insize, or remain localized. The footprint of the Government may expandand contract on demand of the artificial intelligence. As an artificialintelligence decays it relinquishes individual Executives andParliaments that were wirelessly connected, which may also occur asattrition through mobility, until the artificial intelligence isextinguished and its last macro grid processor is returned by theCouncil back to the micro grid stack as a micro grid processor. If noother macro grid processors are assigned in the simple micro gridapparatus, the Council reverts to a simple unique processor (60),attentively monitoring its I/O, GPS and communication module sensors,and waiting for another alert to occur.

C. Macro Grid Communication

The artificial intelligence when generated by a Council in a micro grid(as a result of a detected alert or event) is provided with a freshClass E Internet Protocol (IP) address. Consequentially each micro gridprocessor assigned as a resource to the artificial intelligence (ormacro grid) has its own individual IP address linked as a sub-IP addressto the primary Class E IP Address of the artificial intelligence. Inthis way, IP addressing links all Council assigned micro grid processorresources to a single macro grid Government (enhanced TCP/IP Governancelayer) and the embodied Intelligence (enhanced TCP/IP Intelligencelayer), for the life and requirement of the artificial intelligence, inone embodiment.

Transience for the artificial intelligence is provided by the governancelayer software (i.e. governance software in the Governance Layer) toenable the relocation of the artificial intelligence that is at theCouncil allocated primary Class E IP address, from a macro gridprocessor, wherein the artificial intelligence faces isolation orextinguishment, in one embodiment.

Thus, if the artificial intelligence that is residing in a primaryCouncil having the primary Class E IP address (and having an artificialintelligence responsibility for implementing the artificialintelligence) is under event of isolation or extinguishment, thengovernance software in the Governance Layer may relocate the artificialintelligence to another Council in the Government.

Influenced by the increasing structural size of a macro grid, governancesoftware will seek a Parliament (or an Executive) to assign a micro gridprocessor (or processors) as a minor backup processor(s) (i.e.,Council(s)) to the primary Council, in the event that the macro gridprocessor embodying the primary Class E IP address (i.e., the primaryCouncil) is unexpectedly and catastrophically lost (i.e., cannot belocated). In response to ascertaining that the primary Council cannot belocated, the backup macro grid processor would become a replacementprimary Council by immediately assuming artificial intelligenceresponsibility (and inheriting the primary Class E IP address) and seekits own mirror micro grid processor backup from its interface with thepresiding Governance software in order to trigger assignment of a secondminor backup Council to the replacement primary Council.

Mirror backup macro grid processors facilitate maintaining macro gridcohesion. The lost processor would automatically re-assume its ownunique IP address, and in isolation gravitate back to a disconnected andunassigned micro grid resource, governed by a Council (the uniqueprocessor in its micro grid), in one embodiment.

As the size of the macro grid increases further, multiple macro gridprocessors may be used to embody the artificial intelligence. To achievethis, the Class E IP address is shared in a similar method to thesharing of an IP address on an Internet Local Area Network (LAN), and aprocess of IP address translation occurs within the embodiment of theenhanced TCP/IP stack, in one embodiment.

Artificial intelligence governance layer software (i.e. the governancesoftware in the Governance Layer) provides a process for the enhancedTCP/IP packet header information to be filtered through data securityand data integrity algorithms, both to and from the intelligence layersoftware, to protect the artificial intelligence from attack (e.g.,vicious attack). Artificial intelligence firewalls may be constructed,in one embodiment.

Thus, a “cloud” of the present invention is any complex apparatus (i.e.,any complex micro grid apparatus or associated set of micro grid systemstacks or a cloud computing polygonal mosaic, such as any of the microgrid bridge structures 2060, 2070, 2080, 2090, 2100, 2200, 2300, 2400),characterized by a plurality of micro grid apparatus such that the microgrid apparatus are interconnected by at least one bridge module.

In order to completely facilitate cloud computing, the present inventionprovides an entirely new computational micro grid technology to lift thecomputing industry to the next platform, embracing structures of thepast but also facilitating new structures for the future.

The new fundamental computing elements of the present invention arescalable from the very tiny to the very large, so that software systemscan traverse the entire hardware product range.

Cloud computing according to the present invention is available andsustainable not only in fixed locations, but also in mobile and remotelocations, and is able to be serviced by engineers and robots and/orplugged into power grids.

The present invention provides for the diversity of functional use thatcloud computing utilizes, for computational involvement of the verysmall to the very large, for the connection to everything, everywhere,all the time, for ‘On Demand’ requests for information, for reaction toalerts and pro-active resolve by artificial intelligence, for artefactand archive storage, all intertwined with the growing computationalneeds of humanity.

The following example illustrates the use of cloud computing accordingto the present invention. This example comprises wireless connectivityof twelve micro grid apparatuses embedded in vehicles on a freeway,adjacent to each other, and moving at fifty miles per hour. Eachindividual micro grid apparatus has a unique processor 60 that isconstantly monitoring for alerts and task requests, from sensorsattached to the vehicles, and keyboard requests from individuals withinthe vehicles.

A macro grid containing an artificial intelligence is generated betweenthe apparatus's when alerts and requests are received. Alerts andrequests can be anything from smoke detector alerts on or within thevehicles, to stock exchange data requests by the passengers. There maybe a plurality of alert and request types.

The artificial intelligence (macro grid) expands itself by conscriptingother wirelessly adjacent micro grid processors to assist with computingthe alert or request. Escalation is the result of an increased change inalert scale. This cloud computing process is constantly occurring andevolving. One macro grid containing an artificial intelligence isconnected to the Internet for stock exchange information transfer, whileanother macro grid has generated amongst the four adjacent leadingvehicles in the group of twelve, reacting to three additional smokealerts to the one smoke alert the another macro grid has itselfdetected. The another macro grid needs to determine whether each alertis unique or is a larger issue as the vehicles pass by a fire along sidethe freeway. Each artificial intelligence determines what to do abouttheir request or alert.

The artificial intelligence seeking the stock exchange data, determinesthat another passenger in another one of the twelve vehicles has justcoincidentally requested the same information, and copies and transfersthe fresh data to satisfy the request without requiring access to thehost server containing the stock exchange information. The artificialintelligence decides to maintain itself and its access to the Internetshould further World Wide Web requests occur within the adjacentvehicles in the next 3 minutes.

The artificial intelligence reacting to the smoke alert has determinedthat it is both a passenger who is smoking in the vehicle and a scrubfire outside the vehicle. This artificial intelligence illuminates avisual cigarette smoke warning message to the passengers on thedashboard display console and the display panels in the rear of thefront passengers head rests within the vehicle that originated the localalert. Health advertising messages (from advertising agencies on theweb) are also displayed on the liquid crystal display panels by theartificial intelligence.

The artificial intelligence also conscripts additional micro gridprocessors from one of the other four vehicles that raised a higheralert value of the scrub fire and migrates the majority of itscomputational power to that vehicle. It determines that three other leadvehicles have now also detected the scrub fire smoke, and synchronizes agradual speed change and increased vehicle distance gap between alltwelve vehicles, using micro grid controlled actuators on the vehicles.Visual messages are also displayed on the driver's dashboard consoles.Fire prevention advertising messages (from advertising agencies on theweb) are also displayed on the liquid crystal display panels by theartificial intelligence.

Two of the leading vehicles reduce their alert value for external smokedetection and one declares a value of zero. The artificial intelligencerecognizes the changing pattern of the alert value and shifts itsprocessing power (the heavier concentration of its conscripted microgrid processors) further back amongst the following vehicles.

Eventually all micro grid alert values are zero and the artificialintelligence decays leaving twelve vehicles travelling on the freewaywith larger vehicle gaps between them and moving at 45 miles per hour.The drivers all gradually increase their speed again to fifty miles perhour. Cloud computing has been efficient and the micro grids wereeffective.

H. Cloud Computing

The present invention provides for cloud computing and virtualizationwhere artificial intelligences conscript available processors to a macrogrid from micro grid resources. It is possible (with sufficient microgrid computing machines deployed) that a single generated artificialintelligence could govern a single virtual Mesh Wireless connected macrogrid of a billion micro grid processors or more, which illustrates thepower of cloud computing.

A “cloud” of the present invention is any complex apparatus (i.e., anycomplex micro grid apparatus, or associated set of micro grid systemstacks, or a cloud computing polygonal mosaic such micro grid bridgestructures, or a complex power hub apparatus), characterized by aplurality of interconnected micro grid apparatuses.

In order to completely facilitate cloud computing, the present inventionprovides an entirely new computational micro grid technology to lift thecomputing industry to the next platform, embracing structures of thepast but also facilitating new structures for the future.

The new fundamental computing elements of the present invention arescalable from the very tiny to the very large, so that software systemscan traverse the entire hardware product range.

Cloud computing according to the present invention is available andsustainable not only in fixed locations, but also in mobile and remotelocations, and is able to be serviced by engineers and robots and/orplugged into power grids.

The present invention provides for the diversity of functional use thatcloud computing utilizes, for computational involvement of the verysmall to the very large, for the connection to everything, everywhere,all the time, for ‘On Demand’ requests for information, for reaction toalerts and pro-active resolve by artificial intelligence, for artefactand archive storage, all intertwined with the growing computationalneeds of humanity. The following examples illustrate the use of cloudcomputing by the present invention.

G.1 First Cloud Computing Example

In a first cloud computing example involving hospital intelligence, FIG.38 illustrates wireless connectivity of a composite apparatus comprisingtwelve power hub apparatuses 4135 that includes micro grid instrumentsensor and actuator driver apparatuses in a medical ward within a wingof a large metropolitan hospital, in accordance with embodiments of thepresent invention.

Some of the apparatuses are embedded in specialized electronic medicalmachines. Some are attached to hospital mobile equipment trolleys andpatient beds, while others are discretely positioned in fixed locationswithin the medical ward, connected to the in-house emergency powersystems.

Specialized hospital equipment associated with all the patients in thehospital ward (e.g., electro-cardiograph pace-makers and heart monitors;blood dialysis machines; glucose monitors; blood pressure monitors;intravenous drip machines; body thermometers; encephalogram devices;x-ray scanners; blood test devices; CAT scanners; including medicalpersonnel pagers and patient bed-side alarm buttons; etc.) arephysically connected to the installed instrument sensor and activatordriver modules of the present invention.

Each individual micro grid instrument sensor and actuator driverapparatus has ten unique processors (i.e., one unique micro gridassigned processor in each of the five micro grid processor modules, anda dedicated micro grid processor in each of the instrument sensormodules and actuator driver modules) that are constantly monitoring foralerts and task requests by direct physical and electrical attachment tothe patient's life-support machines, including alarm buzzer requestsfrom patients within the hospital ward.

A macro grid containing an artificial intelligence is generated betweenthe apparatuses when alerts and requests are received. Alerts andrequests can be anything from an unusual event occurring on a patientconnected encephalogram device to an alarm buzzer request from apatient's bedside assistance request button. There is a plurality ofalert and request types. The artificial intelligence (macro grid)expands itself by conscripting other wirelessly adjacent micro gridprocessors to assist with computing the alert or request. Escalation isthe result of an increased change in alert scale. This cloud computingprocess is constantly occurring and evolving.

One macro grid containing an artificial intelligence is connected to theInternet for digital TV channels and web-site information transfer toall the patients bedside display and access systems for theirentertainment and enjoyment, while another macro grid has generatedamongst the four adjacent apparatuses closest to the emergency theatre,reacting to oxygen (O2) low signals from the line of O2 gas bottleslined up along the theatre's outside wall.

Failure of an O2 gas bottle connection hose to the emergency theatre'sprimary O2 gas supply line has occurred.

The artificial intelligence instructs the micro grid apparatus that isphysically and electrically connected to the O2 gas bottle valves toclose the appropriate valves between the emergency theatre O2 supplyline and the rapidly depleting gas bottle by use of its actuator driver,and open, purge and test (by use of an instrument sensor) the integrityof a fresh O2 gas bottle, and then include this source of O2 into thehospital emergency theatre's primary supply, without delay.

Hospital personnel is advised of the O2 depletion event and of thepro-active remedy taken by the artificial intelligence.

A requisition is made by the artificial intelligence for hospitalmaintenance and repair assistance, and for more O2 to be supplied tothis ward in this wing of the hospital.

The micro grid alert value returns to zero, the artificial intelligenceresponding to the O2 shortage event decays, leaving a single artificialintelligence busy with the digital TV and Internet web-site provisioningto the patients and nurses, across all the twelve micro grid instrumentsensor and actuator driver apparatuses in the hospital ward.

The doctors in the emergency theatre were not interrupted by the oxygendepletion event during the three hour surgery they were undertaking.

G.2 Second Cloud Computing Example

In a second cloud computing example involving water management, FIG. 39illustrates wireless connectivity of a composite apparatus comprisingtwelve power hub apparatuses 4600 that include remote micro gridinstrument sensor and actuator driver apparatuses in a small riverbasin, in accordance with embodiments of the present invention. Eachapparatus is covered by a micro grid solar power skin to assist incharging its embodied micro grid system battery.

Micro grid instrument sensor and actuator driver connections arepermanently established by attachment to thousands of water sensingdevices and flow control valves and gates, throughout the complex riverbasin.

An artificial intelligence governs the entire vitality and health of thewater in the river system.

Information of increased evaporation in the ponds of the lower reachesof the river alert the artificial intelligence to release stored water1500 kilometers away in a controlled and cascading way, of just theright quantities to slowly rebuild and enhance the fragile ecosystemswithout flooding and scouring damage.

A rapid loss of several hundred thousand mega-liters of water isdetected in a city. A local artificial intelligence is generated acrossfive of the micro grid apparatuses reacting to an alert value of 8,sensed from a series of flotation devices in one of the remote riverlakes. The artificial intelligence closes the flood and flow controlgates of the lake, by using its available actuator drivers on theappropriately located apparatuses. The water level of the lake continuesto fall, and the alert value is raised to 9. The artificial intelligencerequests (by system generated e-mail) that water authority personnelurgently attend the remote location. Global positioning coordinates areprovided by the Micro Grid technology for the response team to quicklylocate the problem on a map.

An old irrigation channel to a cattle property has opened up and isdrawing water away from the lake.

Sand bags are dropped by helicopter to stem the water outflow.

The micro grid alert value starts to drop and the artificialintelligence responding to the water loss event re-opens the watercontrol gates. As the alert value reaches zero, the artificialintelligence decays, leaving a single artificial intelligence busy withthe entire vitality and health of the water in the river system.
